Software & IT Services

In the Software & IT Services sector, we focus on mid‑market companies driving digital transformation across the DACH region. This includes technology‑focused consultancies and IT services providers seeking to position themselves as leading technology partners within clearly defined industries or functional customer segments. It also encompasses companies aiming to establish themselves as indispensable service partners within fast‑growing, standard‑setting software ecosystems.

In the software sector, our emphasis is on companies with mission‑critical solutions that are deeply integrated into their customers’ core processes and protected by high barriers to entry – for example through system‑of‑record positioning or by supporting their customers in meeting regulatory and industry‑specific requirements. We believe that a clearly defined, shared strategic direction, combined with focused and consistent execution by the management team, is essential to building long‑term, strategically relevant market leaders.

Across our portfolio, companies benefit from their management teams’ access to our long‑standing experience in scaling digital champions – drawing on proven approaches to organic growth, access to a relevant industry network, and the development of ambitious yet sustainably oriented buy‑and‑build strategies.
